Chapter Index

In Zong Ao’s room, Yang Kai poured wine for the old man, with a respectful expression.

The old guy was calm and composed, enjoying it with peace of mind, and didn’t feel the slightest bit embarrassed.

The wine was full in the cup. Zong Ao picked it up, took a sip, pursed his lips and put it down, saying, Just say whatever you have to say. As long as you don’t have any more ideas about my baby.

Yang Kai smiled and said, “I don’t have that intention. Elder Zong is overthinking. The junior just came to say goodbye to senior. Well, during this period of time, the junior has been taken care of by senior and is extremely grateful.”

Whether Zong Ao is a good person or not, and whether he has ever had murderous intentions towards himself, during these days, Yang Kai has indeed received a lot of care from Zong Ao. If it weren’t for his guidance, Yang Kai simply wouldn’t have known how to rescue Xue Yue and how to wake up her sleeping divine soul spirit body.

Although Zong Ao also reaped huge benefits from it, but since he is an old senior, it doesn’t matter if he is respectful himself.

“Say goodbye?” Zong Ao was stunned. “Are you leaving?”

“Well, I will leave in two days!” Yang Kai nodded.

Zong Ao’s expression was strange: “You are afraid that the Third Young Master Xue Yue will come to trouble you, right? It’s time to leave. When the people from Shuiyue Star come, if you don’t leave, you will die.”

He still believes to this day that Yang Kai is so bold that he dares to touch Xue Yue’s woman.

Yang Kai didn’t go to explain either and let him guess like this.

“Lad, how about considering following this old man? Zong Ao suddenly suggested. “It’s just a woman after all. Since Xue Yue is the son of president Ai Ou surely he won’t be unreasonable. As long as you follow this old man, this old man will go and talk to that lad. It should be able to turn a big thing into a small one and a small thing into nothing. Otherwise, how could a martial artist at the Third-Order Saint Realm like you escape the pursuit of the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce? The star field is so vast, and there might not be a place for you to hide at that time.”

Why does everyone want to keep him? Yang Kai was depressed in his heart, but on the surface, he didn’t show the slightest bit. Knowing that Old Man Zong had taken a fancy to his alchemy talent, he shook his head and said, “I appreciate Old Man Zong’s kindness, but this junior is determined to leave.”

Zong Ao nodded slightly: “Since that’s the case, then this old man won’t force it. Hmm, here are some things. Take them and have a look. I see that although your talent in alchemy is outstanding, you haven’t received systematic education, and you don’t have a thorough understanding of the medicinal effects of high-level medicinal materials and pills. These things should be able to help you.”

As he spoke, he took out many thick ancient books from his Space Ring.

Yang Kai’s eyes lit up, and he wasn’t polite to him. He took all those ancient books and put them into his own ring.

Yang Kai was very familiar with these classics. They were all collections in Zong Ao’s palace. Some were written by Zong Ao himself, and some were collected by him from outside. They were all books explaining the medicinal properties, grades, and growth environments of various medicinal herbs in the star field.

As long as he could thoroughly understand these things, Yang Kai’s alchemy skills would be able to integrate with those in the star field, and he would never encounter the situation of not recognizing medicinal herbs again.

Last time he hadn’t been able to read too many, and he was still a little regretful, thinking that he might not have such a good opportunity in the future. But unexpectedly, Zong Ao took the initiative to send them over.

Yang Kai was very grateful.

“Lad, tell me, where did you learn your alchemy skills? The spiritual arrays you use are also a bit different from those in the star field. Although they come from the same source, there are still differences in the details.” Zong Ao curiously probed into Yang Kai’s background.

“Elder Zong, the place where I come from is a low-level continent. The strongest martial artist there is at the Third-Order Saint Realm, which is the level I am at now. The highest level of alchemist is the Upper Saint Grade. Spiritual grasses, spiritual medicines, and secret treasure materials all cap at this level. So I don’t know much about materials above the Saint Grade…” Yang Kai no longer concealed anything and chatted with Zong Ao while drinking.

Zong Ao was repeatedly surprised and increasingly felt that Yang Kai was not simple.

A person who came from a low-level continent was actually able to understand alchemy to such an extent. A single ingenious idea solved a problem that had plagued him for a hundred years, allowing the pills he refined now to have a one-tenth chance of generating pill patterns.

If he had been born on one of the best cultivation stars in the Star Field, what kind of achievement would he have? At the moment, he chatted more and more speculatively with Yang Kai.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Kai took his leave. Zong Ao didn’t try to keep him either, only telling Yang Kai that the method of generating pill patterns would not be leaked without Yang Kai’s permission, so he could rest assured.

Yang Kai waved his hand and didn’t say much.

Whether they were weapon refiners or alchemists, or even martial artists, they were all a group of people who cherished their own things and would not expose their details. Precious martial skills and knowledge would be regarded as secret techniques that would only be passed on to their own disciples. It was simply impossible for outsiders to pry. Once such a situation occurred, it would be a life-and-death struggle.

Zong Ao had already learned the method of generating pill patterns from Yang Kai, and he was already very satisfied, so naturally he wouldn’t go around publicizing it.

For two consecutive days, it was calm. Zong Ao had already moved back to his own valley. It was said that he was going to re-cultivate that thousand-mu medicinal field. Anyway, the old guy had a not low cultivation level and still had a lot of days to live, so he had enough time to cultivate the medicinal materials in the field until they were mature.

Xue Yue and Yang Kai also stayed in their rooms and didn’t go out for these two days.

Harika and Lin Mufeng also seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not quite right, and they carefully did their own things every day, waiting for someone from the main star to come and deal with the matter here.

Two days later, Yang Kai came to Xue Yue’s room. Without asking, he directly pushed the door and entered.

There seemed to be a chilly air in the room. Xue Yue was sitting at the table with a cold expression. When she saw Yang Kai coming, she just raised her eyes and looked at him.

Yang Kai clearly felt that there was a cavity of anger suppressed in Xue Yue’s heart, and her attitude was also a little different from a few days ago. There was a cold aura lingering around her delicate body.

Yang Kai sat down in front of her with a stiff scalp.

“Drink a glass of wine first!” Xue Yue personally poured a glass and brought it to Yang Kai.

“Isn’t there any poison in it?” Yang Kai looked at her distrustfully.

“What good would it do me to poison you?” Xue Yue looked at him coldly.

Yang Kai looked at the clear wine, shook his head: “Forget it, let’s talk about business. It’s okay not to drink this wine.”

He was sure that there was something wrong with this wine. Based on his understanding of Xue Yue, this woman would not let go easily. Yang Kai also made up his mind to tear off the mask and have a big fight with her.

Seeing his vigilance, Xueyue sneered, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, she slammed the wine glass in front of Yang Kai with hatred, making a ‘peng’ sound, as if demonstrating.

“How are you thinking?”

“How are you thinking?” Xueyue didn’t answer but asked instead.

“Don’t play word games with me. It’s meaningless. I gave you the answer three days ago.”

“There is no room for maneuver?” Xueyue still didn’t give up.

“No.” Yang Kai slowly shook his head.

Xueyue gritted her silver teeth and shouted to drink: “Fine, you’re right. Forcibly twisting a melon is not sweet. Now that you and I are bound together by the soul chain, if I really force you to stay and one day you commit suicide, I will have to follow you to my death. It’s not worth it. If you want to leave, then let’s untie the soul chain and from now on, no one will care about the other.”

“It’s good that you understand.” Yang Kai was overjoyed when he heard this.

“Don’t be too happy.” Xue Yue gracefully rose to her feet, took a few steps, and gently opened her vermilion lips: The reason I’m so willful and entangled you are perhaps partly due to the Soul Chain, but as you said, a large part of it is because of my girlish heart. From the age of three until now, only in front of you can I truly let go of myself. I’ve been very happy during this time. Elder Zong told me that you lost half your life to wake me up. Although I don’t know exactly what happened in between, since Elder Zong said so, it won’t be false. I want to thank you because no one has ever for me as a woman before. For the first time I’ve been cared for as a woman.”

Yang Kai’s brows furrowed tightly, secretly on guard.

The more sincere Xue Yue spoke, the more he felt a crisis looming. For someone like her, once she revealed her true feelings and didn’t get any response, the consequences would be extremely terrifying.

“Once we unlock the Soul Chain and there’s no more that layer of bonds, I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s very likely that I’m trying to kill you all! Xue Yue stood behind Yang Kai, with both hands on his shoulders, leaning down and breathing like an orchid.

“I’m mentally prepared. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely run far away so you can’t find me.” Yang Kai nodded.

“Your strength is too low. If I really wanted to find you, it wouldn’t matter where you hid!” Xue Yue was still breathing into Yang Kai’s ear, and the cold tone seemed to show signs of melting as she said softly, “Can’t a woman like me keep you?”

Yang Kai remained silent. Somehow, a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.

“You’re so heartless!” Xue Yue gritted her teeth and growled in a low voice.

The next moment, Yang Kai felt a pain in his neck, a warm current flowed out from there, and two drops of warmth dripped onto the deep part of his neck.

He almost couldn’t help but want to comfort her a couple of words.

It was a long time before Xue Yue let go of Yang Kai. Her small mouth was full of golden blood. She swallowed that blood into her abdomen in one gulp and gritted her teeth and said, “Drinking your blood today is the return gift for all your disrespect to me. If I see you again in the future, I will skin you and eat your flesh. Don’t doubt it. I will do what I say! You go, and never appear in front of me again, because I don’t know what I will do either.”

She turned her back to Yang Kai, her fragrant shoulders trembled, and there was a tremor in her words.

Yang Kai sighed softly, stood up, opened his mouth, and still didn’t know what to say.

Listening to the footsteps of Yang Kai leaving, Xue Yue’s beautiful eyes filled with tears, which kept flowing down.

She knew that she would never have the opportunity to live as freely as during that time again. From today on, she would become Young Master Xue Yue again.

The star shuttle, like a ray of light and electricity, broke through the shackles of space and quickly sped towards the starry sky.

An hour later, Yang Kai stopped and stood in the starry sky, looking down at the colorful and gorgeous Rainfall Star.

It seemed that a layer of restraint in the sea of consciousness was opened, causing Yang Kai to have an illusion of freedom for no reason. In the dark, a questioning voice rang in his ears.

Yang Kai responded in an affirmative tone.

With a boom, the invisible imprisonment in the sea of consciousness suddenly shattered. All kinds of sorrows and unbearable for Xue Yue vanished in an instant, and Yang Kai’s mood became suddenly clear.
